Where to powder in the washing machine: follow the instructions

Modern technology makes life very easy, but it's important to use it correctly. So you need to know, for example, where to put powder in the washing machine. If you follow the instructions, the result will definitely be good. But there are situations when the operating manual is not at hand. How to figure out which compartment is intended for?

What does detergent container look like?

One can not say for sure how the detergent department looks and where it is located. Manufacturers solve this issue in different ways. In models with vertical loading it is usually located on the inside of the hatch, from the front - on the top or front panel, above the hatch. Most of these trays are equipped with a button, pressing it allows you to get it and clean it.

The container is divided into three parts. If you carefully consider them, it will be noticeable that each of the compartments is indicated by a certain icon. They may differ depending on the brand of the washing machine. It is on these notes and you need to navigate when the time comes to fill the powder. In addition, the departments differ in size.

• The average size is most often located on the edge. It is marked with the letter "A", the Arabic number "1" or the Roman "I".Used for pre-soaking or washing. For this purpose, only means in the form of a powder are suitable.
• The largest is designed just for the basic detergent. It is traditionally designated "B", "2" or "II".Usually it is in the middle.
• In a small cell the air conditioner is poured, softening underwear. Often it has an antistatic function. In this department you can see the image of an asterisk or a flower, sometimes the inscription "Softener".

How to wash correctly?

If there is no certainty that all the notations are understood correctly, or they simply erased, then you can figure out what's what, by experience. To do this, include an empty, not loaded with laundry, washing machine in a mode without soaking. The detergent compartment does not need to be completely closed. That compartment, in which the water supply will go first, will be destined for the powder. Opening the container during operation will not damage the unit. This feature can be used to add a rinse aid when washing is already started.

To put things in order, act this way.

• For heavily soiled laundry, soaking is required. Therefore, fill the "1" and "2" cells with powder, if desired, an air conditioner is added to the compartment with an asterisk or a flower.
• If only the main wash is necessary, but with a softener, then the tool falls asleep only in compartment "2".In a small pour rinse.
• When simple washing is needed, only the second cell is used.

Can I put the tool in a drum?

In some cases, you can simplify the task and place the detergent directly into the drum. Many housewives prefer to do so. This is especially true for old washing machines, which have served faithfully for more than one year. They begin to wash out the compartment with the powder badly, thereby increasing the consumption of detergent. But if the container is clean after the end of the cycle, then you can safely use it.

tip If a thick gel is used for washing, then it should be slightly diluted with water. So it will be better to wash out.

Some manufacturers themselves attach a special container to the powder for the drum. Most often it is applied to substances for washing children's underwear, promising a more gentle washing. But bleaches and stain removers are best placed only in the corresponding designated cell. They are quite aggressive. Therefore, they can damage things if you apply them directly.

Detergent can be not only liquid or in the form of a powder( we have already figured out where to fall asleep).But the capsules or compressed cubes do not dissolve in a separate container. Therefore, they must be laid directly into the drum. The same applies to most non-sulfate products. When used for washing plants containing saponins, they are removed into a pouch.

To make the washing machine work without interruptions and show excellent results, it is important not only to pour the powder into the correct compartment, but also to choose the suitable tool. It should be with reduced foaming, so that with the mark "for hand washing" can not be used. In addition, the dosage offered by the manufacturers should be adhered to. They often indicate the maximum allowable amount. Therefore, you can reduce it, especially if the laundry is not dirty. Select the measure is individually, taking into account the workload and the program.

The equipment must be used as prescribed by the manufacturer. In good time, fill the powder in the right cell, dry the drum regularly, opening the hatch for a while. It is worthwhile to carefully study the operation manual. It is then that the washing machine will remain in good condition for a long time, and things will please with freshness and purity. Knowledge of small tricks will not get lost in any situation.
